My Garden




This year i decided to branch out with a few more veggies than the potatoes and runner beans of last year . Nothing to grand just to see how things went so the top end of the garden has become a fruit area and nearer the house a veggie area . The fruit area consists of dwarf apple tree , dwarf pear tree , thornless blackberry bush 3 varieties of blueberry bush and numerous strawberry plants . The veggie are is contained in a raised planter which is 8 feet long x 2 feet wide x 2 feet deep , whci contains little gem lettuce , spring onions , beetroot , carrotts and parsnips with 3 varieties of potatoes in grow bags and runner beans in 2 containers . The veggies are something i spotted while browsing , they are single seeds attached to bio-degradable tape , spaced at just the right intervals as to not need thinning out when they have grown and they are working out just right .
